Hi I'm planning to buy a video card and what would be the best video card for me 750ti or gtx 960
I mainly play dota 2
nba 2k15.
and some mmorpg games like tera and upcoming new games
so should I go for gtx 960 or 750 ti?

960 by a long shot, especially for newer games.

There is a huge price difference between the two. What is your budget? Don't forget about the new GTX950.

The R9 380 is the best video card under $300 CAD but it's not worth the price difference over this 960(it's not THAT much better)

The 280x above is better but is also $305 plus tax and shipping before rebate

CTurbo is correct about the 960 vs the R9 280

CTurbo :

Should I wait for gtx 950 in Canada or go for gtx 960 now?

CTurbo · Aug 23, 2015

Considering the cheapest 950 is only $10 cheaper than the 960, I would go with the 960
